Theatre 245 - Musical Theatre in Performance

Offered as THE 245 and MUS 935. This course uses the rehearsal and performance process of performing in a musical to develop skills in conveying character and story through acting and singing (& sometimes dancing!) Taught jointly by Music and Theatre faculty, students work as an ensemble to create a production of an existing work of musical theatre. Performing in musicals is a particular artistic challenge, combining a range of skills. This course provides an opportunity to learn and strengthen those skills through rehearsal and performance. Repeatable for credit. Instructor permission required.
